Solar & Battery Buying Guide
Questions to Ask Before Accepting a Solar or Battery Quote
The right questions reveal how well the quote matches your property, how the project will be delivered and who will remain responsible after installation.
Before You Accept the Quote, Ask:
- Does the selling company complete the installation itself?
- Is the installer an employee or subcontractor?
- Who has technically assessed the system?
- Can I speak with an electrician or technical team before signing?
- Who decides what happens if site conditions differ on installation day?
- What possible site-specific items are not included in the base price?
- Who completes and signs the required installation certificates?
- Who do I contact for warranty support and fault diagnosis?
- Have the battery location, switchboard, backup design and cable route been reviewed?
- Why were this brand, inverter power and system architecture selected for my home?
- After installation, who will help configure the battery for my electricity tariff, free-power window, VPP and backup preferences—and is that service included in the quoted price?
A Better Quote Comparison
Compare capacity, inverter power, backup, equipment, standard inclusions, possible site work, monitoring, technical assessment and the support pathway. A cheaper or larger-looking quote is not automatically better or worse; it needs enough detail to understand what will actually be installed.
